As for the build, the car is together and off the jacks and parts are installed. As i was tuning the car with link my alternator crapped out so its just sitting in my garage right now..... reading my log and remembering the hours put in the car its kinda sad to see me loafing on an alternator...

sorry i haven't updated in quite a while,to pazsion: not trying to sound rude, but i know how to launch the car I.E slip clutch and walk the peddle. IMO the fwd trannys are just plan ole shitty for holding power.To the naysayers of the 7 bolt, 14-17psi was seen daily when it was the DD...

yea, as mentioned above its hard to believe the apfr is the problem seeing that 2 completely different regulators are giving you the same problem, something is restricting your return line although i would have to imagine that the 60-50 psi your seeing couldn't push the clog through.... id say...

pm me im very interested

Anyone with a different idea? What material does the elbow need to be?

The 90 degree elbow sounds Good Im just not sure how much clearance I will have, can anyOne tell me from experience what they have done or seen? I'm pretty sure there must me a way to make this work without welding

yes i have one similar thats just the piping that leads to the intake, ill go take pictures later im just hoping a DSMwiseman will chime in and give me some help. i really need my car runnin by mon.

ok i have a s256 turbo im trying to install. i origiainaly had a 16g with a greddy 24v intercooler. the problem i am running into is when i mount the turbo and the compressor outlet is facing down it is a little to the drivers side of the car to the K member but my piping will not fit to go to...

i have a act 2100 6 puck in my car and for the first 1000 miles it shaked like crazy when i engaged it in first. like previously stated you need to pull the trans and take a look, we can give educated guesses but you wont know until you dig in

ok i got it thanks

im familiar with what a chassis ground is im putting my starter back in and i'm not sure what terminal on the starter is the ground, i know what wires are positive and negative just not on the starter.heres a picis it the side with the wire connected to it? if it is, does it have to be...

what up im from lutcher got a gst

is the side with the wire running to the side of the motor the negative? if it is, are the 2 wires supposed to be separated with a copper ring?P.S its amazing how there is still 77 people viewing the newbie forum at 3 in the morning

yes i am stock internals with 7 bolt, i don't plan on pushing the car too hard maybe 22 psi on track days but 17psi dd on a very conservative tune, having that kinda hp dd. is silly IMO for a fwd anywayi do plan, however, to do a 6 bolt swap. the guy i bought the car from had a 6 bolt block...

whats up, i have a 99 eclipse gst that i bought about 1 year ago that i cant seem to keep on the road to save my life. id like to blame it on the stigma of a DSM but i cant, more like a little to much "spirited driving". anyway i purchased the car and within about a month of owning the car my...

SOO SOO TRUE:Dbut seriously, as mentioned before try and get in touch with someone who has turboed a 420a already and try and learn as much as you can about it. As far as brands and most commonly used parts on a dsm, follow the upgrade path to get an understanding of how and what too...

after doing some more research im going with a .50 trim it sounds like just what im looking for. thanks guys for the help

yea i already have a greddy fmic kit but my core is looking pretty S***Y and has alot of bent fins on it so i figured it was time to replace the core. im asking just for the core b/c i figure if i can find the core only i can save a few bucksive been searching and all i seem to find is the...

doe anyone know where i can buy a replacement greddy core? i have a v spec type 24

ive updated my profile, from what im reading on this it appears the tdo6 20g is going to be to laggy for a street machine, i hate to be another person asking what turbo to get but im to that point, the more i read the more questions i get. so what turbo would yall suggest i get for my hp goals...

yea i guess thats more realistic, this is my dd so riding around with my car running with 430 all around probubly is not that practical especially fwd, i just wanna be able to put down a nasty dyno run and have a shitload of power when i go to the strip

so do you think with a good tune that say 420 to 440 is easily obtainable with that 20g? or should i just wait to get a bigger turbo

i have a wavetrac lsd and pretty stiff suspension along with prothane full bodykit and motormounts, im just asking if it is practical on pump gas with a 20g with my setup

classifieds on this site would be a good bet

im considering buying a tdo6 20g but i currently have a tdo5h 16g. my HP goals are between 430-450, i have all the necessary fuel upgrades (fpr, wally 255, injectors) and im about to install hks 264/272's with bc springs and retainers with link for the tune, tubular manifold and megan racing o2...

k thanks goin cut the wire now

does the o2 wires coming from the harness appear normal? what i mean is there is 2 black wires coming from my harness that appear to be connected to the o2 wires. im hooking up my wideband right now and i plan on logging with dsmlink so i have to cut it i just dont want these wires to be running...

im pretty sure im just going to ship my trans off and get it rebuilt. Im thinking of going with dogbox racing but im not entirely sure. i already have a lsd so im thinking whatever company i go with, i shouldn't need anymore than there stage one. Any suggestions?

on my way home from school today i i started to hear a whining in my 5 speed transmission. it only occurs in 3,4 and im not to sure about 5th. when i got home i wanted to see if it also had problems with reverse. when i moved my shifter to the right i felt a grind and it was literally stuck...

mine would either be the ride home in my car after buying it or the first time i took a aggressive turn with my lsd installed, GOODBYE understeer

If gas was that high down here you would see me in a prius!!

i just filled up and ill let yall know what im getting but i dont think its very good. i do have a nasty exaust leak from the exaust mani to the turbo witch is probly the cause. i hate the 3.50 a gallon for 93 though

lol, IK right

agreed, i put a megan short shifter on my eclipse and made my car MUCH more fun to drive, if u get one though make sure you take it to someone thats a very good welder and have them take a inch or so off, trust me you will love it and if i recall it cost under 100$ :thumb:

how much experience do you have building motors/ tuning? if none then i hope your ready for hefty labor fees or someone willing to do it for free

wow your stuburn, do you think you can insure quality used parts for that price? i think now open your ears and listen and you might understand where everyone is coming from. SAME BOAT HERE. got my eclipse with a 16g and started putting used parts in it. yea it was fast for 3 months now its...

no im not doin the work my uncle is im just going to help, when i brought it to him he ask me what i needed to seal the trans case with so thats why i asked. i know that he would need a new ring gear so thats why im trying to find one.any clues on the ring gear?

na im good, you could tell me where you got it though?

im putting in a wavetrac lsd in my shep racing stage 2 tranny and i just wanted to know if yall knew where i could find the speedo ring gear. ive been searching the forums and havent really found anything other than road race engineering and i didnt see one on theres site.also after the...
